    After about a year of water cooling, I think it's time to go back to air. I want to put the computer back in a rack mount case, and it's just much easier with air.

    The problem is, like a complete moron, I seem to have lost the original air cooler from my 8800 Ultra! Is there a decent after market air cooler still available for this card?

    Surely with a rackmount WC would be the best thing to avoid low-profile cooler pains?

    The rackmount case i have is huuuge... I think it's 5U with much more room inside than a normal tower case. I have to use a car jack to get it into place :p

    Even less of a reason to switch to air!
